No matter who you are or what your goals are, you're going to fail at some point. Even the biggest success stories came with plenty of failure along the way.

Okay, so failure is a part of life. But how do you keep it from destroying your motivation? How do you keep going when there are seemingly insurmountable obstacles in your way?

The answer - it depends.

Unfortunately, there's no one-size-fits-all solution to this situation. Everyone is different, we all face different challenges, and we all have different goals.

One thing we have in common? We've all got to overcome our burdens and move forward. And that means summoning up some inner strength and powering through the pain.

If you're trying to make your motivation soar, ask yourself these 7 questions:

1. "What's causing my obstacles?"

Is there something tangible and physical standing in between you and success? Or is the situation emotional? Are you afraid of something legitimate, or are you suffering from some kind of irrational fear?

Once you figure out exactly what the obstacle is, think about the worst-case scenario. What's the worst that can happen if you don't overcome it? When you think about it that way, you'll probably see that it's not worth all of this stress and fear. In the grand scheme of things, your obstacle probably isn't the end of life as you know it.

2. "Do I truly believe in my goal?"

Running into obstacles can get you so down in the dumps that you forget about the end result. What are you working towards? How will you, your family, or your company benefit when you reach your goal? Most importantly, is your goal worth the struggle?

If you don't absolutely-positively-without-a-doubt believe in your goal, the answer isn't more motivation. Instead, you've got to go back to the starting line. Reassess what you want, and then move forward with it.

3. "What does success look like?"

Visualization is incredibly powerful. Simply closing your eyes and picturing yourself as having overcome your obstacles is one of the most positive things you can do.

Once you've got a clear mental picture, go take action quickly. You may not be able to deal with your obstacle all at once, but don't underestimate the power of small actions. Even a baby step towards your goal is a step in the right direction!

4. "Can I break this down into chunks?"

Speaking of baby steps, a great way to make an obstacle feel less insurmountable is to break your plan of attack into small chunks. That way, there won't be this huge cloud of failure looming over you. Get rid of the big cloud, and you'll be much more capable of handling the challenge.

5. "What can I do to stay positive?"

A cheery optimistic mindset will instantly make your obstacle look smaller. If you refuse to let negative thoughts take over, it'll be much easier to move forward. After all, mind over matter! (Or, in this case, mind over obstacles!)

6. "What inspires me?"

Do you love curling up with a motivational book? Or maybe you could watch some motivational speeches on YouTube. There are even audio courses that can help you feel more motivated.

Just make sure your inner circle inspires you, too. If there are people who drag you down, ask yourself if they're worth keeping in your life. After all, you'll never feel motivated if you're surrounded by negativity!

7. "What choice do I want to make?"

In the end, being happy and motivated is a choice. You can choose to let positivity reign, or you can choose to sink deeper into self-doubt and misery.

When in doubt, remember the wise words of Margaret Thatcher:

"Look at a day when you are supremely satisfied at the end. It's not a day when you lounge around doing nothing; it's when you've had everything to do, and you've done it."

My best advice when it comes to motivation?

Simple...

Have a crystal-clear vision that reflects what's truly important to you and what you really want next in your life. When you have that, it'll draw you toward it and it toward you with magnetic power and getting motivated or staying motivated will no longer be an issue for you.

As I've said here before, get your vision right and, in my experience, all the rest will fall into place.

If you need some help in that regard, I highly recommend you read my Wallace D. Wattles Quick Start Guide and my Wallace D. Wattles Advanced Vision Guide, in that order. Between the two of them, you'll learn just about everything you'll ever need to know about creating next level visions and, more importantly, realizing them.

Note: If it seems like I come back to this subject of vision a lot here, it's because I do. I don't know that I can possibly overemphasize its importance. The day I created a next level vision that reflected what was truly important to me and what I really wanted next in my life was the day my life began to turn around, and it began to turn around big time!

I'm wondering about what images that we should or shouldn't visualize in our attempt to make a prosperous life.

Here's an example of what I mean:

I have a well-paid job and a flat (apartment) I bought by a loan from a bank in the city where I now live.

Everything would be just great if that flat and job would be in the city where my mom lives.

I want to be close to my mom, who's elderly, and to all my friends and family who live there as well.

What should and what shouldn't I imagine during my daily visualization process?

I don't see much way out of the loan I have, except to:

1. Get a job as good as the present one where I live now.

2. Sell the flat, and buy another one where my mom lives, once I get the job there and move over.

Thanks a lot for your kind response."

You're most welcome.

The answer is simple...

Mentally, in your imagination, you should experience (I prefer that word to visualize) yourself as already having the exact situation you desire.

In other words, in your particular case, you should experience yourself as having a well-paid job and a flat in the city where you want to live along with all the feelings of happiness and joy that come from your being close to your mom and all your friends and family members who live there as well.

What you shouldn't mentally experience, nor concern yourself with, is how that's going to happen. Just imagine the end result as you desire it to be as a done deal, and the necessary ways and means will present themselves to you, in one way or another, along the way, as you're ready to receive and take advantage of them, ways and means you may not have even thought of up to this point, for as Wallace D. Wattles wrote in his book The Science of Being Great:

"That which is in you impelling you forward is in the things and people you need, impelling them toward you. If there is a particular man you need to know, he will be introduced to you; if there is a particular book you need to read it will be placed in your hands at the right time. All the knowledge you need will come to you from both external and internal sources. Your information and your talents will always be equal to the requirements of the occasion. Remember that Jesus told his disciples not to worry as to what they would say when brought before the judges; he knew that the power in them would be sufficient for the needs of the hour."

That same power is in you!
